Default JJ preflop decision on final 3 tables of Stars $3 Rebuy

2916 entries, 24 left
Blinds are 20000/40000/4000

I have played with everyone on this table for quite a while and feel like I have a good handle on things. I just took a big blow with AA in the last orbit, and now sitting on about 680K in chips. I became quiet for 7 hands and then these 2 hands came:

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t40000 (8 handed) internettexasholdem.com

MP2 (t1126544)
CO (t536896)
Button (t606668)
SB (t1092979)
BB (t845347)
UTG (t820482)
Hero (t692496)
MP1 (t986416)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t124000</font>, <font color="#666666">6 folds</font>.

Final Pot: t152000



Fine, everyone folds to me...NEXT HAND (with a new player - UTG+1 - on my left who just joined, and someone I haven't played with yet...DOH!!!):

SB (t801347)
BB (t816482)
Hero (t780496)
UTG+1 (t982416)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t120000</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 raises to t978416</font>, <font color="#666666">6 folds</font>, Hero ???

Against an unknown, I think it's pretty safe to put villain on a "standard" range of 88+, AJ+. I have't been this deep in a 3000 person MTT before though, so I need some real advice here.

Would a player push all of his chips in with QQ+? I doubt it. Maybe QQ, but that's about the only hand he would probably push all of his chips in with. You'll probably see AK or AQ alot. Or maybe even TT.
